Ventilation system performance of vertical exhaust common-duct in a multi-story house. | 1990 | English
Ventilation performance of a vertical exhaust common-duct installed in a multi-story house was analysed using model experiment and computer simulation.
Interaction between air infiltration and combustion appliances - validation of a numerical model. | 1990 | English
This paper presents some of the early theoretical work conducted within the framework of a research program aimed at analysing the interaction between gas-fired domestic appliances and the indoor environment in terms of energy consumption, indoor
This paper describes tests of thermal and ventilation performance of two relatively new occupant-controlled localized thermal distribution (also called task ventilation) systems.
Pressure models require a good knowledge of the pressure distribution around the building and a precise description of air paths.
Structure of models for the prediction of airflow and contaminant dispersal in buildings. | 1990 | English
This paper treats the structure of models for predicting interzonal airflow and contaminant dispersal in buildings.
The functional and technical requirements which have been set for ventilation systems in dwelling houses of the future will result in ventilation systems featuring trouble-free and demand-controlled operation.
With a dynamical model, the thermal behavior of a single office room is simulated.
This paper describes the use of tracer-gas techniques to measure airflow in a rectangular duct and a HVAC system.
Indoor air quality in "Buildings of the Year". Maximum productivity - Minimum of complaints. | 1990 | English
Sustained efforts to conserve energy during the last 15 years have taken place at the expense of the indoor environmental quality. Ventilation air volume has been reduced to a minimum.
A new facility for the study of ventilation in buildings has been recently developed at the University of Basilicata (Potenza, Italy).
This paper describes the activity on Air Infiltration and Ventilation of the research group of "Dipartimento di Energetica" in Politecnico of Turin.
The performance of ventilation provision in subfloor cavities is relevant to the fields of energy efficiency, condensation risk, and air quality.
Keynote speech describes the difficulties of designing air conditioning system with human comfort in mind. Lists design fundamentals for satisfactory indoor air quality, together with a description of some case studies.
An investigation has been carried out using computational fluid dynamics methods to study the performance of an air curtain at the door of a heated building.
The use of computers for data acquisition and analysis in air exchange measurements with tracer gases has become state of the art for the researcher.
A new turbinemeter is developed to be used as a ventilating rate sensor in livestock buildings.
An appropriate way to identify the most efficient ventilation systems and improve their design is to use design codes for ventilation rates.
In an experimental facility, we studied the performance of a task ventilation system designed for use in office buildings.
The predominant route for air movements between the floors of two-storey dwellings is via the stairwell.
